Re: XFree 4.2.0 on Windows 98 on Laptop SCENIC Mobile 360


Hello everybody,

if you have this problem, as I had:
--
XWin does not start.

Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/, removing

 list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
--

Here is the solution, that helped in my case:

1) Start Cygwin installation and switch to UNIX file mode (no additional
package installed, see Cygwin/XFree86 Installation Guide p. 9)
2) Mount DOS drive in binary mode. By typing "mount", you can check your
mode. If if is "textmode", you have to
- unmout your system: cd /cygwin/bin   umount /
- remount your system: ./mount -b c: /
3) Reinstall XFree86

====>>>>> BUT my bash-prompt changed. Instead of "<path>$" it has changed to
"bash-2.05a$"  ????

Yours
Michael
